Russian reporter Borodin dead after mystery fall - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43781351
25 mins ago - A Russian investigative journalist who wrote about the deaths of mercenaries in Syria has died in hospital after falling from his fifth-floor flat. Maxim Borodin was found badly injured by neighbours in Yekaterinburg and taken to hospital, where he later died. Local officials said no suicide note was found but ...

A russian journalist today said it was plausible that foreign actors got a hold of chemical weapons in order to make it looks like Syria gassed its own people so that the US would attack Russia. How clever!

How ironic if the same foreign actors murdered a russian critique in order to make Russia look like they are trying to silence journalists.

Whoever these foreign actors are, they are good. Real good.

I'm sure they're all being fronted by the Clinton Foundation and George Soros.

Why is everyone so against Putin? We screwed up Syria by funding extremists, the UK faked the "poisoning" of ex-spys and blamed Russia.. so much aggression from the west. Finger-pointing with no solid proof.

That spy that May claims was poisoned was in Russian captivity and could have been eliminated at any given time, why would it make sense for him to be released into the UK then killed? Also, that poisoning that they allegedly used is one you cannot simply recover from, that is a fact. So what May said was not correct, the poisoning was not Russian. No proof, just allegation, and if you allege someone of doing a crime, you best be able to prove it.

On the Syria note, same situation occurred, "chemical" weapons were used against people. That alone is not even yet proven because those folks did not die, they are still alive. But regardless, even if it was indeed a chemical attack, what proof do we have that it was the government of Syria and not the rebels that we back? What makes those extremists better than Assad? Is it because they don't kill civilians brutally (because they do)? Or is it the fact that they are not allies with Russia. Also, why do we get to decide who can and cannot keep chemical weapons when we have the most chemical weapons ourselves? Syria is a sovereign country and without legitimate proof should not be attacked. That is not how problems are solved. We need to focus on not funding extremists groups and provoking civil wars that kill hundreds of thousands using OUR taxpayer money. That is not how the US should act.

You may read or watch CNN, but you certainly read/watch russian state TV, as you are spouting their usual boilerplate.

Are you from St. Petersburg/Leningrad? Moscow? Novosibirsk?

Again, no facts to argue. That's typically what I expected from someone who blindly follows what they're told.

Use logic, why would Assad poison his own people when he is indeed winning the civil war against ISIS and the US (biggest supporter of ISIS initially) is about to leave. That is counter productive on his part.

I was born, raised and have lived in the United States my whole life and love my country deeply. I care for our people first, that is why I appose any Syrian activity without actual proof. Just like last year, when we bombed before we realized that the gases were not used by the Syrian government. That is wrong, we cannot simply do that to a sovereign nation who is battling ISIS.

More boilerplate. I guarantee you did not develop that line of reasoning watching CNN, FOX, or reading the LA Times.

I take back my earlier CNN comment. Obviously you don't watch it or read the Apple news or CNN.com articles.

This thread has lots of great links. Try reading them. Various sources. Except your favs (RT, Sputnik, pravda, etc). Only independent sources.
You are not patriotic. Far from it.

I want your view, not the fake news links you provided.

So you think attacking Syria is right? Why do you think Assad gassed his own people right when the US was getting out of Syria? Don't you think that is counter-productive since he is winning against ISIS?

As Tucker Carlson said, we have no proof of any of it.

Also, how am I not patriotic? Because I don't support a war made on false claims? ISIS has done us more harm than Assad, you backing them makes you not patriotic.

Fake news. Right......Prove anything I have said or posted is fake. Go for it!

Tucker Carlson? Is he done with the fake riots in Sweden yet?

Can you prove that mine are fake? Goes both ways. Keep an open mind and try to analyze the situation yourself. You haven't been able to respond to any of the facts I have given in my previous posts, you have just attacked me for reading every news agency instead of one and having my own thoughts on the matter.

Also, how am I unpatriotic? I come from a family who has served this country and still do. The point of democracy is to have different views and argue, that is what makes our country great. I love my country.
